You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold.
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.
You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night.
You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest.
But all the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.
You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night.
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold.
All the promises we break, from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.
You... all I want is...
You... all I want is...
You... all I want is...
You...

October and the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear.
What do I care?
October and kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on.
